This report on the cost of acute care hospital stays by medical condition uses Canadian administrative data to answer the key questions related to total hospital costs for acute care inpatients:

• What is the contribution (percent and dollar) of each ICD-10-CA clinical chapter to total acute care inpatient costs?
• What is the breakdown of total acute care inpatient cost into cost per stay and volume of utilization for each clinical chapter and selected medical condition?
• How much of the medical condition costs (in percentages) can be allocated to the treatment or presence of complexities?
• How do hospital costs for acute care inpatients vary by sex and age group for each clinical chapter and selected medical condition?
